A renewal

Tonight I was really going to go to bed early. I'm horrible about that on the weekends, so as exhausted as I am, I thought it would be a cinch. However, as I was reading my bible tonight, The Lord really pressed it upon me to listen to a certain song... As I was listening, I just kept the music coming and began to enter into a time of worship in my bedroom. I really felt like this was a time of renewal for me. "Come be the fire inside of me, come be the flame upon my heart, come be the fire inside of me, until You and I are one," This is my hearts cry. Even now, I'm weeping in His presence... Just completely sensitive to what He is doing in my life, As I was listening to You Won't Relent, I realized my desire to write was back. I log on to my blog and begin reading my previous posts, and I realized that I have allowed myself to become lackluster about Him. I've allowed life to get busy, my time with Him less... That's completely unacceptable.

I know people will probably get tired of hearing my heart, or me posting things about God, but think of it like this: this is the single most IMPORTANT relationship in my life. If this was your most important relationship in your life, wouldn't you do everything you could to nurture that? To allow it to grow, to be the desire of your heart? I know that if this were referring to my spouse I would want the same things, so how much more should I want this with my Savior? I'm so overwhelmed by His goodness tonight, and my heart is restless.

I want more. More of Him, more of His Word, more worship, more FIRE. I'm hungry for things this world can't offer. There's nothing I want more.

This is a time for transitioning for me. I'm embracing it,
